Position Overview

Become a Veterinary Clinical Skills Educator

Are you an experienced veterinarian ready for a change, and enthusiastic about using your clinical knowledge, experience, and technical skills to train the next generation of veterinarians?

OR

Are you currently in veterinary academia and interested in clinical skills education?

Te Whiwhinga mahi | The opportunity

Our undergraduate class size has increased, and we are looking to expand our clinical skills teaching team at Tāwharau Ora - School of Veterinary Science.  We have 1FTE available for either a Lecturer or a Professional Clinician in Skills-based education.    Check out your future with us.

As the successful applicant, you will teach veterinary students in our brand-new clinical skills laboratory, particularly in simulation-based education, using a range of both low and high-fidelity patient models.  You will help students develop their technical skills and clinical acumen in advance of their clinical placements. 

In this role, no two days are the same, and creativity is encouraged – you will be drawing on your clinical experience to help create learning scenarios, including homemade models, online learning materials, and interactive simulated patient scenarios. There’s also no on-call!

The salary range spanning both roles is $81,172 - $143,949 (NZD). Salary will be negotiable by background/experience.
